About Us

For more than 90 years Waterford Country School has worked to meet the special needs of children and families at risk. Our services and programs have evolved with the transitions that life and community present. Through it all, the mission and high standards of care have remained constant. Together with a highly dedicated and skilled staff, Board of Trustees and many friends in the community, we have developed an extensive array of programs and are committed to the spirit of doing “Whatever It Takes.” We work hard to ensure that each child entrusted to our care is given the opportunity to grow, learn, and develop at his or her own pace.

Our Mission

Waterford Country School is dedicated to doing whatever it takes to enrich the lives of children and strengthen families through specialized programs resources and community services.

Plan a Visit

It would be our pleasure to have you visit our campus during our normal working hours or on weekends. To plan such a visit, we ask you to contact someone within the program you are interested in visiting and set up a mutually acceptable time. All guests need to be sponsored by a Waterford Country School employee.

Upon Arrival

During regular business hours, all visitors must check in at Anderson House (main reception building) unless otherwise directed specifically by an employee. We have visitor parking spaces identified directly in front of Anderson House for convenience. At Anderson House you will receive a visitors badge and the receptionist will inform your sponsor of your arrival.
